On June 26, 2026, France became the latest country to join a succession of air traffic control strikes already underway in several European nations, including Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Greece. These coordinated actions by air traffic controllers are affecting airspace management across the continent.
The strikes have led to significant disruptions in overflight operations, contributing to a collapse of flight connections within Europe’s tourism network. Travelers throughout the affected countries are currently encountering widespread delays and cancellations as air traffic flow is restricted.
